Parallax from Jupiter. Suppose you could observe stellar parallax from the orbit of Jupiter. How would it differ from the stellar parallax we observe from Earth? Would it be easier or more difficult to measure stellar distances? Explain.
The spectral type of a star is directly related to its color. Recall that a star emits light as a blackbody, which has a particular shape to its spectrum, as shown in this figure. Based on this, what basic property of a star determines its color (and thus its spectral type)? Choose one: A. age B. composition C. radius D. temperature
Given the location of Springfield, IL is 40N and 90W, answer the following questions. You must explain your answer to each question When Springfield’s day light time is about 9 hours, what is the Sun-angle in Springfield? Use your calculation to explain your answer

Suppose that two stars in a binary star system are separated by a distance of 80 million kilometers and are located at a distance of 160 light years from earth. What is the angular separation of the two stars? Give your answer in arcseconds
Problem 5. Imagine that you observe a star field twice, with a six-month gap between your observations, and that you see the two sets of stars shown below. Which do you think is closest to the observer? Figure 1: Schematic of image of stars A,B, and P taken six months apart. Problem 6. Suppose the angular separation between stars A and B is 0.5 arcseconds. How far would you estimate star P to lie from the observer?
I am trying to plot the ground tracks of an orbit. But I am having a problem with finding the longitude. The equation for the longitude is shown in the image. Is the Theta GMST initially zero because the greenwich meridian points to the Aries point (x-axis). How do you calculate alpha or vernal equinox? I saw a formula for alpha which is alpha = arctan(ry/rx), but the formula was for Right Ascension angle. Is the right ascension angle the same as vernal equinox. If not, then what is the formula for vernal equinox.
Consider a neutron star as a very dense sphere of matter. Assuming that the star has a mass of 1*(mass of sun) and a radius of 0.05*(radius of sun), then how much would a 85.1 kg person weigh on the surface of this star? (enter your answer in Newtons). See the test reference sheet for applicable constants. HINT: Remember what we learned about the force of gravity and the gravitational field (Ch. 13 of the textbook)
Use this interactive simulation of stellar parallax. Change the distance to the star to values given in column 2. Write down the parallax angle in arcsec for each distance. Convert the parallax angle to radians. Calculate the distance. If your calculation is correct, your number in the last column should be similar to the number in column 2 (NOT THE SAME!). 1 AU is 4.85 x 10-6 pc (Don't write units with your answer!)

The nearest star to our sun is Proxima Centauri, at a distance of 4.3 light-years from the Sun. A light-year is the distance that light travels in one year (365 days). How far away, in kilometers, is Proxima Centauri from the Sun?Express your answer using two significant figures.
Consider two identical stars, A and B. Star B is 10 times farther away than star A. What is the differencein magnitudes between the two stars?
The Algol binary system consists of a 3.7 Msun star and a 0.8 Msun star with an orbital period of 2.87 days. Using Newton’s version of Kepler’s Third Law, calculate the distance, a, between the two stars. Compare that to the size of Betelgeuse (you’ll need to look that up). Newton’s Version of Kepler’s Law: (M1 + M2) P2 = (4p2 /G) a3 Rearrange the equation to solve for a. Pi, p, is equal to 3.14. IMPORTANT NOTE: Google the value of G (the Universal Gravitational Constant) or look it up in your text. NOTICE THE UNITS. You must convert every distance and time in your equation to the same units, otherwise, you’ll get an incorrect answer. That means you must convert distances to meters, solar masses to kilograms, and time to seconds. When you compare your value to the size of Betelgeuse, it will also help that they are in the same units.
